Chapter 378 Seduction and abstinence feudal warlord 002
In the luxurious and spacious restaurant, two servants were standing not far away, and an aunt was bringing soup from the kitchen and placing it on the mahogany dining table.
Sheng Nuan was sitting at the dining table, and sitting next to him was a young man wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and a gray vest. He had the arrogance of a noble man, but also a bit of bookishness, and his face was full of dissatisfaction.
Sitting opposite Xu Zhengqian was Xu Zhengqing, the head of the Xu family and the commander-in-chief of the three provinces of Yunmu.
Wearing a dark blue military uniform, buttoned to the top meticulously, his facial features are similar to Xu Yunqian's outstanding features, but he is particularly cold and majestic.
Hearing Xu Yunqian say that he refused to fulfill the engagement, Xu Zhengqing put down his chopsticks, looked up at him, and said softly: "The Xu family keeps its promises and never breaks its promises."
Xu Yun smiled angrily: "Then you marry yourself. A feudal tyrant and an old-fashioned tyrant, and a traditional and conservative lady are not just a perfect match."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Zhengqing raised his hand and slapped Yun Danfeng gently... There was a loud snap, and Xu Yunqian sat back with his face covered, filled with anger.
Xu Zhengqing glanced at him, picked up his chopsticks and continued eating: "It's not your turn to make the decision in the Xu family."
Xu Yunqian rubbed his face and curled his lips: "I only be my own master."
After saying that, he pulled up his chair and stood up and rushed out without looking back... He was afraid that if he was slow for a moment, he would be grabbed and beaten.
Xu Zhengqing had no intention of catching him back. He knew his brother well and knew that the other party couldn't get out of his hands. He just didn't want to push him too hard for fear of backfiring.
That slap just stopped him from talking nonsense.
Silence returned to the restaurant. The servant next to her lowered her head and did not dare to make a sound. Sheng Nuan looked at the stern man opposite who was eating slowly and straightly. She paused and said in a low voice: "First cousin, I
The original owner called the Xu brothers "eldest cousin" and "second cousin."
Hearing that Sheng Nuan wanted to talk, Xu Zhengqing hummed lightly: "Come to my study after dinner."
After eating, Xu Zhengqing went back to the study. After a moment of pause, Sheng Nuan knocked on the door and went in.
Xu Zhengqing's study room, like his own, exudes a square and majestic atmosphere, with solid wood bookshelves reaching to the top, a desk of the same color, and a sofa and coffee table opposite the desk, which is simple but grand.
"Sit down." Xu Zhengqing motioned to the sofa opposite.
Sheng Nuan glanced at him and sat down meekly.
Xu Zhengqing seemed to have guessed what she wanted to say. Perhaps he was worried that she would be embarrassed to speak, so he spoke first: "Don't worry, he doesn't have anything to say about this family. The Xu family never breaks the contract. Don't worry too much about the engagement."
Xu Zhengqing had heard before that this young lady of the Sheng family had been raised in the back house. She was well-educated but also conservative and timid, so her tone was quite gentle.
But just after he finished speaking, he heard the lady from the Sheng family opposite suddenly speak.
"Cousin, actually...I am not the second young master."
Xu Zhengqing paused for a moment, looked up from the table, and met Sheng Nuan's shy yet bold eyes...
Miss Sheng's family, who had always been cautious and disciplined since she arrived at the Xu family, was looking directly at him at this moment, her eyes so hot that they were almost wanton.
She said softly: "I have heard for a long time that my eldest cousin is majestic, upright and talented. After seeing me these few days, I realized that the rumors are not as good as my eldest cousin. My little girl can't help but admire her..."
Before Sheng Nuan could finish her words, Xu Zhengqing interrupted her coldly: "The person who is engaged to Miss Sheng is Xu Yunqian, the second young master of the Xu family. What Miss Sheng said just now is inconsistent with your identity. I have never heard of it, so I won't make an example again."
Xu Zhengqing had no idea that this seemingly traditional and conservative lady from the Sheng family would actually say such a thing in front of him.
So, her previous timidity of Xiu Jing was all disguised?
Xu Zhengqing was a little suspicious when he heard Sheng Nuan ask in a low tone: "Then, can the eldest cousin help me win back the second young master?"
Xu Zhengqing said quietly, "This is what the Xu family should do."
After saying that, he issued an eviction order: "If Miss Sheng has nothing else to do, go and do your business. I still have official business to deal with."
Then he saw Sheng Nuan bit her lip and glanced at him, stood up and said softly: "Then I won't disturb my eldest cousin."
Xu Zhengqing hummed, and the next moment, the sound of high heels hitting the ground could be heard in the study.
Sheng Nuan stood up and walked out of the study...
After Sheng Nuan left, Xu Zhengqing frowned slightly and felt uncertain.
Did the young lady from the Sheng family just seek medical treatment in a hurry because her second brother refused to fulfill the engagement... Or is she not the peaceful person she appears to be?
Xu Zhengqing was more inclined to the former, but he couldn't completely believe the bold and almost explicit look in the woman's eyes just now that was completely different from her simple and elegant appearance.
If she is really the kind of person who wears the appearance of being a lady, but is actually not content with her marriage, then this engagement may really need to be considered carefully.
The Xu family has a strict family tradition and does not tolerate that kind of restless woman...
The next day, everything was fine.
When Xu Zhengqing came back from the military camp, he saw Sheng Nuan sitting on the sofa teaching the maid Sister Lian to embroider. She was twisting the embroidery needle in her hand. Her face was quiet and beautiful, and her whole body was elegant and bookish.
Xu Zhengqing's worries were mostly eliminated and he went upstairs to change clothes.
But just as he was changing his clothes, there was a knock on the door.
Xu Zhengqing opened the door and saw Sheng Nuan standing at the door looking at him shyly.
"Cousin, the shower in my room is broken and there is no hot water... The repairman won't come until tomorrow. Can I borrow your bathroom?"
Although the Xu family was rich, they never lived in extravagance and waste. Unoccupied guest rooms did not have hot water.
Xu Zhengqing was about to ask Sheng Nuan to use the shower in Xu Yunqian's room. After all, Xu Yunqian was not at home at the moment, but then he heard her say: "Second cousin and I have a pipe in the room, and Uncle Zhong said we should repair it together.
"
The woman in front of her seemed to be extremely shy and reserved, her head lowered uneasily, and a trace of white blood flowed down her neck.
Xu Zhengqing paused and pulled the coat next to him: "You can use it."
After saying that, he went directly downstairs and entered the study...
After having been busy in the study for almost two hours, it was completely dark before Xu Zhengqing walked out of the study and went upstairs.
When he reached the door of his room, he paused for a moment to make sure there was no movement inside before pushing the door open and entering.
Sheng Nuan has left... there is no sign of restlessness.
Xu Zhengqing's complexion improved slightly...but when he opened the bathroom door, his expression froze instantly.
On the white marble washstand, two dark red clothes were placed there.
The lace bra and the trousers with very little fabric were placed there in a somewhat messy manner, a third part of chaos...a third part of arrogance...
